Thanks for the kind words friend. Please check out that page again, I just uploaded a sampler from the record with pictures, it's pretty cool. You can see me in my glory days when I sold everything and hit the road on my motorcycle. You can also see my dear wife when she was a real wild cat!!!!

The video is kind of grainy, but you'll feel this one nonetheless. If you are a fan of Sade (I am!), you will recognize this song that was originally recorded by her. If this one doesn't give you goose bumps and make a tear drop from your eye, then you don't have a soul!

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

I am sorry I could not reply sooner, scamandrius. The company I work for has seen a dip in profits, and although it is nothing major (especially compared to the global situation), the boss has called us all to work harder. What this means is that we all have to appear to work harder by putting in overtime. In my case this means staying late even though I have no work to do. Absolutely beautiful - thank you so much for sharing..

Now I'm on a mozart kick. Listened to Don Giovanni and now I'm listening to the Dissonance Quartet in C major. FOr those of you who watch Star Trek: TNG, this particular quartet was featured in the episode "Sarek."

"The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed,Called myself a fool; I could no longer stand it;Blood began to boil, Temper I was losin',Poor ould Erin's isle They began abusin',"Hurrah my soul," sez I, My shillelagh I let fly;Some Galway boys were by, Saw I was a hobble in,Then with a loud hurray, They joined in the affray.We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin."

"The Scots-Irish; Brewed in Scotland, bottled in Ireland, uncorked in America." ~Scots-Irish saying

Our throats are on fireWith the feeling to drinkAnd it won't go away'Til we drink all your beers

That was our teenaged version of the song lyrics anyway. Was in the mood for something a bit rawer production, and this is the closest thing I really had on my computer. Got rid of all my bootleg tapes and whatnot years ago. Not that I have a tape player to play them on now. Anyway...

With Mass Effect 2 hopefully being released Q1 2010, I've gotten hooked on the original again, and the credit song always sticks.

Perlman was wondrous with Beethoven. I've never liked his interpretations of Mozart though. Perlman is a romantic and I think he tried to make Mozart's violin concertos fit a romantic style which was a generation past Mozart.

Rock on Nebelpfade. Dio has always been one of my favorites. I unfortunately missed him with Sabbath (now touring as Heaven and Hell) when they came through the area a few months back. That's a great song. I dedicated one of my blogs to it.

I can totally see (and hear) what you're saying. He's certainly a wizard with Beethoven.

I still think Ronnie James did his best work with Blackmore in Rainbow, but that's probably because I'm a guitar player. I still get goosebumps when I hear "Kill the King".

Well, Dio was certainly backed by a better guitar player in Ritchie Blackmore than he ever was in Dio. I really liked Vivian Campbell and thought that Craig Goldy was just OK and that 16 year old was just bad. I liked the early Rainbow stuff myself. My favorite was "Stargazer" from Rising! Awesome song. And that whole lineup was good. You had Cozy Powell (RIP) on drums, Blackmore on Guitar and Carey on keys. Jimmy Bain wasn't much of a bass player, imho, but adequate to the task.
